So does LSU control it’s desiny for NY6 game, probably citrus if auburn and miss st lose Saturday? I believe they do unless auburn somehow upsets Alabama pretty convincingly.

ARE you assuming BOTH UGA and BAMA get into the playoff?
Posted on 11/9/17 at 4:14 pm to BlackHelicopterPilot
Yes obviously. If they both win this week, playoff looks highly probable for both.

Is there some sort of rule that I'm not aware of saying an SEC team must be included? Seems to me there will be enough teams with 1 or 2 losses to fill these bowls.
What am I missing?

Not a stretch if both are undefeated after the regular season, and the SEC Championship game is tight.
If UGA wins, there is no way on God's green Earth the committee votes out Bama.

No because we need UGa and Bama to both get into the CFP and that’s completely out of our hands.

SEC has been the dominant conference for a decade, and if both Bama and UGA somehow make the playoffs (which is doubtful, since in the best-case scenario one will be coming off a loss when the decision is made), it's a pretty good choice to take the next highest SEC team into a NY6.

LSU does go against the grain with that, since the Troy loss severely damages the SOS and whatnot (usually the losses are all conference games).
I think, especially if UGA loses, the committee will take any 1-loss bigtime (Power 5 + Notre Dame) program before they take a second SEC team. So in theory, you'd see Oklahoma, Clemson, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Washington all go before a second SEC team, if the records are equal.

1) That is several "ifs"
2) I did not imply it was a "stretch". It just was not a part of the OP. So, I asked.

SEC Bowl Selection
FAQs:
1) Which SEC Team qualifies for the College Football Playoff?
The winner of the SEC Championship Game automatically qualifies for a spot in the Peach, Cotton or Fiesta Bowls if that team is not selected to participate in the four-team playoff. If the SEC Champion is selected to participate in the four-team playoff it will play in the Sugar or Rose Bowl.
2) How can additional SEC teams be selected for the CFP?
Additional SEC teams may be selected for the CFP Semifinals (Sugar or Rose) or one of the CFP access bowls (Fiesta, Peach or Cotton Bowls) based on its ranking in the final CFP Selection Committee rankings. There is no limit on the number of teams from any one conference that can be selected to participate in the CFP bowls.
3) How can a SEC Team be selected to participate in the Orange Bowl?
When the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal game and a SEC team is the highest ranked team among the non-champions of the SEC and Big Ten and ranked higher than Notre Dame after the CFP semifinal games have been filled, then that team will participate in the Orange Bowl. There are eight years in which the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal game and the SEC is guaranteed three of the eight years, the Big Ten is guaranteed three of the eight years and the remaining two years can be filled by Notre Dame, the SEC or the Big Ten based on CFP Selection Committee rankings. To be clear, the SEC Champion can never participate in the Orange Bowl unless it is a semifinal game.
4) How does the CFP selection process work in 2017-18?
The CFP Selection Committee ranks the top 25 teams and selects the four teams to participate in the semifinal games (Sugar and Rose). Then, after the contract bowls (Orange) are filled based on conference agreements, the Committee will assign teams to fill the remaining access bowls (Cotton, Fiesta and Peach). The Orange Bowl is filled with an ACC representative and the highest ranked non champion from the SEC and the Big Ten or Notre Dame after the CFP semifinal games have been filled. Each conference champion from the contract bowls (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC & Pac 12) has a guaranteed spot in its contracted bowl or in an access bowl (Cotton, Fiesta or Peach) if the contracted bowl is a semifinal game and the conference champion is not selected to participate in a semifinal game. The highest ranked champion from the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt or MAC is guaranteed a spot in a CFP bowl and the remaining spots are filled based on the rankings of teams after the contract bowls have been filled.
